Very sad news. I've always had a lot of time for Hope. Quite brilliant after-sales service.

That's awful, no age at all. I've a weakness for needlessly slathering my bikes in gorgeous Hope finishing kit.

Only the good die young ....

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

A very gifted man, with an excellent work-force, & equally superb team of sponsored riders

Plus, the one-offs, such as the vented discs, for Guy Martins 'gravity racer'

Sad news.

On an aside, I'm now whiling away my day reading the local rag from my home town.
